MCC Alumni & Current Athletes Compete Jan. 19

MCC alumni and current softball and baseball players will
face off in annual games on Saturday, Jan. 19, at MCC
Bradenton.

MCC President Dr. Sarah Pappas will throw the first pitch in
a softball game that begins at 11 a.m. After the game ends at
approximately 1 p.m., new recruits for the softball team will
sign letters of intent.

Pappas will once again throw the first pitch in a baseball
game that begins at 2 p.m. A couple of the noted baseball
alumni who are expected to attend and/or play in the game are
new inductees in MCC's Hall of Fame. Jody Reed, a former major
league player, helped win a state title for MCC and went on to
play for the Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee
Brewers, San Diego Padres and Detroit Tigers. Nick Cafaro was
on the 1963 MCC World Series team that finished second in the
nation. He went on to play at Florida State University.
